‘Future proofing: Why we need long-term climate plans’

The event, co-hosted by The Prince of Wales’s Corporate Leaders Group and We Mean Business, will be broadcast live.

Why do 2050 plans matter?

National climate plans with a horizon of 2050 are essential to delivering the long-term vision of the Paris Agreement. They are a necessary complement to the shorter term Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs) and will give business and subnational governments a clear framework to plan future investments.

As governments start elaborating their 2050 climate strategies, with Germany leading the way and other announcements expected at COP22, business and subnational leaders will present their own perspective on long-term plans and explain how they can contribute to their development and implementation.
